Cleverly written mystery. Cleverly presented.
Clearly low-budget. Some of the voice acting is amateurish. But this movie is well-worth the watch.
The simplicity of the action and of the set would make this a great stage play.

These three men were real heroes who honorably, at great personal risk, and despite the horrific torture of one of them, served to speed the downfall of the Nazis-even to the point of saving the city of Innsbruck, without a single shot being fired.
The more famous film portrays Jews fighting in WWII as not being any better than the Nazis. This film reveals them to be quietly professional and effective.
At the end, it is hard not to swell with pride that the three men risked returning to Europe to fight against the Nazis and for the US.

While the original titillates the intellect, this cheap remake is designed purely to shock the sensibilities. Instead of intricate plot-twists, this so-called thriller just features sudden and seemingly random story changes that serve only to debase it further with each bizarre development. Worst of all, replacing the original spicy dialog is an overturned saltshaker full of unnecessary four-letter words, leaving behind a stark, but uninteresting taste.
There was promise--unfulfilled promise. The prospect of Michael Caine pulling off a Patty Duke-like Keller-to-Sullivan graduation is admittedly intriguing. Unfortunately, this brilliant and respected actor only tarnished his reputation, first by accepting the role in this horribly re-scripted nonsense and then by turning in a performance that only looks competent when compared to Jude Law's amateurish overacting.
If you haven't seen the classic original, overlook its dated visuals and gimmicks. Hunt it down, watch it, and just enjoy a story-and-a-half. As for the remake, pass on this insult to the original.
